The New York World is nothing if not
e1terprising-so enterprising that its enter
prise is sometimes rather questionable. Sun
days issue contained the outlines of the
Scotch yacht Thistle, drawn from alleged
measurements made by a diver, whom the
World employed, doubtless at great ex-
pense, to examine the vessels bottom in the
night time, while she was anchored in fifty
feet of water. The story of this great feat
is told in graphic style, with every air of
truth ana numerous illustrations. The eff
feet of the story on the Scotch designer of
the craft was peculiar. It has been said
that it is rather difficult to get Scotchman
to understand joke, and the poor fellow,
not knowing a joke when he sees it, thought
this must be one. He enjoyed it greatly,
bought dozen copies of the World to send
home as fine specimens of an American
comic paper, and was justly indignant
when told that the story was not joke, but
an example of newspaper enterprise. As
the World is great on affdavits, it ought to
get the affidavit of the diver who examined
the Thistle's bottom 1t would be interest
ing to know just how the diver did the job.

rtu Use For Ornamental Purposes Highly
Recommended
Three years ago. the writer built
dwelling house in the country. In
selecting the woods for the interior of
the house, his attention was called to
some doors the builder had put into a
house he had just finished for himself
Remarking that had never seen black
birch used before in the inside trim-
ming of house, but that liked its
fine grain and the handsome color of
the wood, decided that / wanted
birch used at least in one of the rooms
of the house about to be built The
builder thought the architect might
object to its use, as it was not a wood
much known to the trade; and then he
related how he had selected it from
lot of odds and ends of lumber lying
about his shop, more TO get rid of an
unstable article than for its appro-
priateness or its beauty, and, that his
new house was built principally out of
odd lots Of stuff which had been ac-
cumulating for long time about his
premises.
Subsequently, an interview with the
architect resulted in getting him to go
and see the house finished with birch
doors and trimmings, which he adj
nitted looked very well; but then he
had never heard of birch being used
before for any such purpose, and he
had grave misgivings as to the result
of the experiment if the birch was
adopted. But without further argu-
ment, the architect consented to trial
of the new wood, and it was introduced
into the wainscoting. doors and fire.
place of the dining-room, and it re-
suited most satisfactorily to all parties
having a voice in matter-the architect,
the builder and the owner.
Persons who may not know the nat
ure and color of black birch after
dressing and polishing may be inter-
ested in knowing that the grain of the
wood is very close, the color notified
and slightly darker than satin-wood.
Black birch makes beautiful furniture,
and the only complaint made against
it for house trimmings is the care and
extra time required in mailing the
boards. to prevent splitting.
The above incident was brought TO
the writer's mind from seeing in a
Western newspaper devoted to the
lumber interests the following:
'.The price of black birch of best
quality has recently gone up from 81
to $95 per 1000. The extraordinary
advance is due to. the discovery that
boards cut out of the first logs are sus-

One day he was caught in a belt and

This misfortune did not discourage
him, and after recovering his health he

Iharnessed it. fastened and un-
fastened the buckles with his teeth,

winter day and built a cow stable,
saving the timber with his feet. and.
with the hammer in one foot and hold

the boards on as well as most men
could with their hands. He dug a
well twelve feet deep on a farm in
this town and stoned it himself. He
could NOW away hay by holding the
fork under his chin and lettir g it rest
against the shoulder. He would pick
up potatoes in the field as fast as a

that any man with two arms could do.

water from it. To about three cupfuls
of cabbage add a tablespoonful Of
sugar, one teaspoonful of salt, one of

After mixing well together, add two
well beaten eggs in a cup of boiling
vinegar, little cayenne and a table
spoonful of butter. Pour this over the
cabbage; toss well together and serve.

Some trees are valuable, not only
for their timber, but will yield an in
come while growing. The sugar maple
is one of these. Its timber ranks very
high for both fuel and lumber. The sap
taken from it during the brief season of
sugar making makes no perceptible re-
duction in its vitality, or check in its
growth, and the cost of the syrup or
sugar. made from it is small. The nee
essary fuel is supplied by fallen
branches, or branches which should be
cut out, and the work comes at sea-
son when very little else can be done
on the farm. There is no expense for
planting or cultivation. Expensive ap-
pliances are not required, and the work
can all be done at home. Maple syrup
or sugar known to be pure always finds
ready sale at good price.--M e.
